Concept information
Preferred term
TRMM-LBA
Definition
- The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission-Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (TRMM-LBA) was a field campaign designed to collect data for validation of TRMM satellite measurements and numerical cloud models. The TRMM-LBA experiment was conducted in the southwestern part of the Amazon basin in the Brazilian state of Rondonia from November 1, 1998 to February 28, 1999, during the Amazonian wet season. The experiment examined the dynamic, microphysical, electrical and diabatic heating processes of tropical convection in the Amazon region. TRMM-LBA provided detailed observations of precipitating systems from surface and aircraft instrumentation including radars, atmospheric sounding and tethersonde systems, a lightning location and detection network, rain gauges, disdrometers, profilers, and other related instruments.
